Tips for your oil brushes:
Clean Immediately: Clean your oil brushes promptly after each painting session to prevent the paint from drying on the bristles.
Use Solvents: Use a suitable solvent like mineral spirits or turpentine to remove oil paint from brushes. Pour a small amount into a container and gently swish the brush in it.
Wipe Excess Paint: Before cleaning with a solvent, wipe off excess paint from the brush using a paper towel or rag.
Repeat Cleaning: If the brush is heavily loaded with paint, you may need to repeat the cleaning process with fresh solvent until the brush is clean.
Rinse with Soap: After solvent cleaning, rinse the brush with warm, soapy water to remove any remaining paint and solvent residue. Use a mild soap.
Shape the Bristles: After rinsing, gently reshape the bristles with your fingers to restore their original form.
Dry Horizontally: Allow the brushes to dry horizontally on a flat surface to prevent water or solvent from dripping into the ferrule, which can damage the brush over time.
Avoid Soaking: Avoid soaking brushes for extended periods as it can weaken the bristles and damage the handle.
Clean Ferrule: Occasionally, use a brush comb or your fingers to clean paint buildup from the base (ferrule) of the brush to maintain its shape.
Store Properly: Store clean, dry brushes in an upright position or in a holder to protect the bristles and prevent bending or damage.
